It's that time of year! My record of the English countryside wouldn't be complete without bluebells in Spring
And I found this fantastic, really ancient tree with it's offspring ...
The high spot (literally
) was at an iron age settlement with views across to Salisbury Plain, so I did the now mandatory panoramic video

Nice one Ian.. enjoyed those and the panoramic view
Don't Bluebells smell a treat when you get that many
One of my flower beds at the pub has become full of the little tinkers over the years and they're an absolute joy
Bluebells and Cow Parsley.. I love this time of year

Top shots mate.
I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.

Thanks for posting, Ian! I haven't seen bluebells in ages and that makes me homesick.

I look at that first photo and I can smell wild garlic...
...which in turn reminds me of a walk in the woods with my girl many, many years ago.
Nurse! My medication!
